I have a requirement for a Forum where users can post images.
I know there are potential problems with content and size of said images but...
Is Snitz good for this? Can it be set-up so they can do it easily?
Many thanks

Clarkie,
Snitz provides the so called IMG tags for displaying images in posts.
You have have to enable that feature in the Admin section of your board. (yourforum/admin_config_features.asp, "Allow images in posts").
When enabled you can show images with the following syntax:
[img]location of the image[/img]
For example:
[img]http://www.phomago.com/images/adobelightroom_screenshot.jpg[/img]
Out of the box Snitz does not provide a way to upload images to your site.
For that purpose several upload mods have been written, but you can also use an external image upload facility, such as ImageShack, q.oxle, etc.
To make sure that large (wide) images do not mess up the forum layout, you can install the image resize mod which can be found at SnitzBitz.
I've written a wrap up of that mod which can be found here.
If an image is larger than the one allowed it automatically resizes it to the settings your choose. |

Where would I find the aforementioned - "For that purpose several upload mods have been written" - please?

| I think there are two people use the most, Mike's File Attachment mod and Proeder's. I have used Mike's the few times where a file upload mod was used. I think it will need a quick security fix, but should work well for you. |

Hello Rui,
What is the "quick security fix" that is required for Mike's File Attachment mod to work? |

In outputfile.asp, the lines where the filename is assigned should look like this:
filepathname = replace(UploadRequest.Item("blob").Item("FileName"),vbNullChar,"")
filename = Right(filepathname,Len(filepathname)-InstrRev(filepathname,"\"))
